My ideal client is open to shaking things up and trying new strategies. I want us to work together to build a personalized narrative and care plan, through experimentation and a collaborative approach. I may be your best fit if you have a sense of humor, want to think outside of the therapy box, or are looking to build a working relationship of trust, honesty, and creativity. My passion is with ADHD and neurodivergence as a spectrum, and I have a history and love for working with LGBTQ+ clients, adolescents, students of all ages, and women. I also take care to be holistic in my support and recommendations.

The human experience can be challenging at times. One can encounter situations leading to feeling powerless, in pain, or stuck. At times, this can look like an individual ruminating in the past or experiencing levels of depression. Or possibly, one can also be worried about the future or experiencing anxiety levels. I value the autonomy that people have and their ability to problem solve. Yet, I also acknowledge that a constructive and intentional space could provide efficiency for individuals maneuvering through various situations. As a counselor, I intend to help you within this space and support you on your healing journey.

Throughout life, we are faced with many challenges...some more severe than others, some harder to overcome, and some which we ignore for the moment. When we choose not to face our challenges, it can negatively impact our true being. My experience includes working with those struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, substance abuse, trauma, parent-child relationships, crisis intervention, just to name a few.

My approach to therapy starts with the person or the people in front of me. I aim to collaborate on goals based on what each client wants; I have found that, much of the time, people are simply stuck in current patterns due to their personal histories and changing environments, and they need help finding new ways to exist in their situations. Oftentimes, people find that they are still working with parts of themselves that are stuck in the past. Each person knows themself and their parts best, and, together, we use this knowledge to move forward.

Life is filled with sorrow and joy, frustration and wonder, stagnation and growth, obstacles and openings. At times, our skill set and resources are not optimal for helping us adapt to the shifts and movement in our lives. I believe that art therapy and counseling can support understanding of our skills and resources that better equip us to adapt to life's changes. Art therapy allows opportunities to imagine the best, healthiest version of ourselves and permit clarifying moments where we perceive possibility and potential. My goal is to support clients in becoming active agents in developing positive, purposeful ideas towards wellness and good health.

I believe that therapy is an opportunity for growth and healing. I offer a safe, responsive environment that builds on the coping methods, survival strategies, and the inner wisdom that you have already implemented in your life. My practice centers anti-oppressive practices, acknowledging that our intersecting identities impact the way we view ourselves, others, and the world. I place an emphasis on assisting people in advocating for themselves, which sometimes comes in the shape of creating healthier boundaries or learning how to better communicate your needs. We all deserve to move through life being loved for who we are.

Looking for a therapist can be hard, but therapy doesn’t have to be! People seek help for many different reasons, but generally one common factor determines how effective therapy will be, the quality of the connection between the client and their therapist. I strive to make clients feel comfortable by providing a safe, nonjudgmental, and caring, atmosphere. I believe empathy, trust, curiosity, and humor are essential components to an effective therapeutic relationship. If this sounds like a good fit for you, I hope you will take that next step and call to see how I can be of help to you.
